So…the situation: Around the corner, babysitting. Chatting with one of the parents, as she came home. About to leave.
What happens: My sister and her friend come through the front door bearing news: “There’s a police officer in our backyard with an assault rifle. Come home now in the car.”
So…they were about to leave by the time I got home, didn’t take anyone, apparently wanted a long view of the house that’s back-to-back with ours. And they won’t tell us why. Actually, they didn’t even warn us that they would be in our backyard with a fucking assault rifle.
What the hell, guys?! The police should at least have to TELL you that they’re going to be in your backyard, with eyes on the neighbours, and a rifle! Or something! Something other than simply showing up with a weapon and buckling down in your yard!!
(during the first year we lived here, there was a man being arrested about a half-block away.)
(also, this is a GOOD neighbourhood. We moved here to be closer to our new school – essentially, the best one in the city. As I mentioned, this is basically a neighbourhood of spoilt upper middle class kids.)
(upper middle? middle upper? The upper end of the middle class. Or something.)
Is there any way for me to google WHY THE FUCK THEY WERE IN OUR BACKYARD?
